1 Reproduction Asexual vs Sexual

2 Why is Reproduction Important? The means by which an organism produces offspring Biologically and evolutionarily speaking, reproduction is what has made the continuation of life possible! Reproduction ensures the survival of a species

3 Types of Reproduction Reproduction is key to a species surviving but it is not always achieved in the same way We classify reproductive techniques into two main categories: Asexual reproduction Sexual reproduction

4 Asexual Reproduction

5 Asexual Reproduction Unlike sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction does not require both a male and a female Only one organism is needed in order to create an offspring And this offspring will be an exact copy of its parent

6 1) Binary Fission Types of Asexual Reproduction This is when the organism just splits in two This type of asexual reproduction is only seen in Prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea)

7 2) Budding Types of Asexual Reproduction A small growth or bud is produced on the parent organism Once the budding offspring is mature it detaches from the parent Seen in fungi and some animals like corals and sponges

8 Types of Asexual Reproduction 3) Vegetative reproduction Encompasses a bunch of different types of asexual reproductive techniques seen in plants

9 Types of Asexual Reproduction 3) Vegetative reproduction a) Rhizomes and stolons Rhizomes: a modified root that grows horizontally underground and can produce new shoots Stolons: a stem that grows horizontally (above ground) that then produces roots and new shoots

10 Types of Asexual Reproduction 3) Vegetative reproduction b) Bulbs and tubers Bulbs: a modified short stem that is used for storage and can produce new roots and shoots Ex: onion or tulip Tubers: often a modified and enlarged rhizome or stolon that can produce a new plant Ex: potato

11 4) Spores Types of Asexual Reproduction Seen in plants, algae, fungi and protozoa. A reproductive unit that is haploid (only has half of the chromosomes of a normal individual). Often very resilient and can survive until more favourable conditions are available.

12

13 5) Fragmentation Types of Asexual Reproduction A new organism grows from a fragment of the parent Seen in some animals, plants and fungi

14 Types of Asexual 6) Parthenogenesis Reproduction Form of asexual reproduction seen in some plants and animals where an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual

15 Advantages of Asexual Reproduction 1) Only one organism is needed Not always easy to find a mate 2) Rapid form of reproduction Can populate an area very quickly

16 Advantages of Asexual Reproduction 3) Good for in case of emergency situations Some organisms can use asexual reproduction in order to survive adverse conditions 4) Inexpensive Does not require much parental investment

17 Disadvantages of Asexual 1) No diversity Reproduction All organisms are identical to the parent; except for mutations 2) Prone to extinction Means any bad genes keep getting passed on as well 3) Cannot adapt Because the genetics do not really change, they do not adapt to environmental conditions very quickly

18 Sexual Reproduction

19 Sexual Reproduction Form of reproduction (producing offspring) that requires a male and female gamete The offspring inherit some characteristics from each parent The offspring are therefore not genetically identical to either parent

20

21 How it works 1. Each parent provides one gamete (egg and sperm) 2. Each gamete only has half of the chromosomes of a normal cell (haploid) 3. They then fuse together during fertilization to form one new diploid cell (has full set of chromosomes) called a zygote

22

23 Sexual Reproduction in Animals Although the general fertilization process is the same, there are different approaches to bringing the egg and sperm together

24 1) External Fertilization In some species, both the female and male release the gametes into the open E.g. most fish

25 2) Internal Fertilization a) Oviparity (Egg-layers) Fertilization is internal but the offspring develop externally in eggs E.g. birds and most reptiles

26 2) Internal Fertilization b) Ovoviviparity (egg/live birth) Fertilization is again internal but the eggs are retained inside the mother so that it looks like a live birth Offspring still dependent on egg yolk for nutrition Ex: some reptiles and sharks

27 2) Internal Fertilization c) Viviparity (Live-bearing) The zygote is produced through internal fertilization and the embryo grows inside the mother s uterus, getting nutrients from the mother (no yolk sac) Ex: mammals, some fish

28

29 Advantages of Sexual 1) Genetic Diversity Reproduction Because each individual is a result of the mixing of genes from their parents can have a lot of different combinations of genes 2) Faster Adaptation With more genetic diversity, it is more likely that individuals can keep up with environmental changes

30 Advantages of Sexual Reproduction 3) Lower Extinction Rates Undesirable traits are not necessarily passed on; they can get weeded out through genetic recombination

31 Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction 1) Need two parents of opposite sex It is not always easy, especially in unfavourable conditions, for a male and female to find each other 2) Time consuming The development of offspring through sexual reproduction generally takes longer than through asexual reproduction Can take a long time for population numbers to grow

32

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction Asexual Reproduction Only one parent is involved in asexual reproduction. The offspring is genetically identical to the parent. The offspring inherits all of its traits from one parent. Therefore, the
